Hi,

Is there any chance of an Appimage ?

Sorry, I should have said " Is there any chance of an Appimage for Linux", but I assume the answer is the same.

Hi Richard,

Good question - let me look at this. I've got a few days off over the Xmas break so hopefully should get some time to investigate.?

If it's doable, it's going to be a zip or tgz that you expand into your home area somewhere and run from there rather than a fully fledged package (RPM/DEB etc.), but I guess most Linux aficionados wouldn't mind that sort of thing too much.

Thanks Duncan,

I don't know much about Appimages or how much work creating them involves, but they seem to run on any OS without installation, which would be ideal for PSUD.

Richard.

It seems to run "on many Linuxes"; no mention of Mac or Win.

"It aims to allow the installation of binary software independently of specific Linux distributions... one AppImage can be installed and run across Ubuntu, Arch, and Red Hat<snip> without needing to use different files"


And the easier it is for the user, I'd bet the harder it is for the programmer.

There used to be a free/not-free tool to run some Windows on Mac and Linux? Wine? Crossover? Parallels? There are virtual machines to run Intel code on other hardware and O/Ses- I can even run Win10 on my Win7 machine. My Oracle VM VirtualBox is getting old and wobbly but there is a newer release. Access to Windows installation ISOs is pretty easy.

I am seeing minimal-spec Windows machines under $300, which is not pocket change, but may be less than a serious power supply you want to model. Your neighbors are throwing-out Win-machines: our thrift store has a pile of Win10 Dells the local warehouse upgraded from. Remember that PSDU2 always ran fine on old Win7, which your friends should not be using on today's internet (copy the install file on an uptodate machine to a thumb drive, then sneaker-net to the Win7 box).

Hi Paul, I had a look over at the Appimage site and for sure it's aimed at aligning different Linux distributions rather than different OSes. That in itself might cause problems with the binaries as there are different binaries for 64 bit AMD/Intel, 32 bit Intel, 64 bit ARM (Raspberry Pi, etc.) I need to have a look however, as it appears to solve a problem I have with packaging Linux apps. A job for later in the week :)

I've bought 5 mini PCs since August, two cost real money, however three of them have been bargain basement "Celeron" type machines going for GBP ?149 with 500GB solid state drive and 16GB of DDR memory. At today's rates, that's USD $187 a piece pre-loaded with Windows 11 and they run great out of the box.

For single-threaded stuff like PSUD they are still over 50% of the speed of a Core i9 machine costing 6 times the price. Computing has never been cheaper in real terms :)
